In this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa Batt invites you into a heartfelt and honest conversation about the unhealthy habits quietly shaping your life — especially the ones stealing your peace, your focus, and your God-given purpose.

As we head into a new year, Melissa unpacks why so many Christian women feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and stuck in cycles of distraction, even though their hearts long for more peace, clarity, and consistency. Before you can build the healthy rhythms you want, you often have to acknowledge and undo the habits that are draining your mental, emotional, and spiritual capacity.

From screen time and emotional numbing to work-related overuse of technology, Melissa shares the deeper connection between your mental health, your purpose, and the patterns that quietly pull you away from the life God is calling you to live. She offers personal stories, gentle truth, and a powerful reminder that the enemy loves to use distraction to keep God’s daughters spiritually asleep — even when they look awake on the outside.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I want to change, but I never follow through,” this episode will help you understand why… and give you hope for what’s possible when you begin clearing space for the habits that matter most.
